According to Sai Baba, what is the precise relationship between physical hunger and the ability to pursue spiritual devotion?

Sai Baba taught that there is a direct and critical relationship between physical well-being and spiritual capacity. According to Chapter 32, hunger renders the pursuit of devotion impossible. He described a state of hunger as a difficult time when the 'wretched sense organs' forget all their skills. He reasoned that if the body is not nourished, the instruments of devotion become useless. For instance, he questioned how the eyes can see God or the tongue praise Him without the sustenance of food. In summary, Baba's philosophy posits that the senses must have strength to facilitate devotion, and if they become weak from lack of food, they have 'no capacity for spirituality.' Therefore, satisfying physical hunger with moderate eating is a necessary first step.
